California’s largest public-sector union, SEIU Local 1000, has authorized a one-day strike set for October 21, following claims of bad-faith bargaining by the Newsom Administration. With support from members, the union is poised to launch a massive strike that could significantly impact public services across the state. The strike authorization comes as negotiations have reached an impasse, intensifying tensions in labor relations. In a related note, the Dodgers have recorded a win, which provides a contrast to the ongoing industrial action.
